ms Nieuw Amsterdam in Port Everglades December 30, 2022

Although I have a thousand other things I should be doing, it's interesting listening to the captains of the different small vessels talking to the harbor master.  Some of them are mumbling incoherently, while others are perky, bright and clear.  I think I'd prefer to be on a perky boat.

Wish Apex would move so out BHB could get underway.

I finally am making a sailaway!  How exciting!

 

Since it has been so long, are both cams working or do we still only have the one view?

 

Still only one camera, sadly.

Still only one view.

Thanks for letting me know about only one camera.

If I remember correctly, it's going to be unavailable until 2024 at the earliest.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Since they leave earlier the lighting it sure seems to make it harder to see good.

I think you are correct.

From their website: Update 1/28/2022 : Cameras have been removed from the Pier 66 site today. We hope to return them once construction work is completed, possibly 2024, and have been enthusiastically invited to do so. In the meantime, if we can find a temporary home for an elevated view camera then we will.

It would be great if they could find a temporary location for an elevated view; we could perhaps see around the Apex.  LOL

Thanks for the update!

Nobody wants to leave today.

I'll bet Nieuw Amsterdam wants to leave and the Captain is probably very frustrated.

More departure toots . . . or emergency drill toots

[JazzyV]

Toots by someone, maybe Apex?

[travelnap]

Departure toots from someone.

I hope so - we need to get this parade going.

 

X is moving.

[travelnap]

Looks like Apex is finally moving.  

[JazzyV]

Apex on the move!

[alibabacruisers]

movement, yea!

[rafinmd]

I think we also heard somebody's muster toots.

Just 45min late,

[travelnap]

That sounded like the NA's horn with the departure toots.

[alibabacruisers]

The way the sun is reflecting makes it hard to see things clearly.......
